The only way you can obviously get this done is to nuke the legislative filibuster, and that is not something that we have anywhere close to the votes to do.
I’ve indicated to him in most cases — not all — that what he wants done, we just don’t have the votes for, and there’s nothing I can do to change that.
We need Democrat votes. And, as I've said before, I think irrespective of what you think about Bill Pulte, providing the reforms that are included in the 702 reauthorization is a safeguard, regardless of who's in that job, or which party…
The parliamentarian rulings break both ways, and you know, we lose a few, we win a few.
